Wordplay is used alot now days. Especially in childrens books and many fiction novels. I have found that many of the books i used to try to read as a kid all used wordplay as a key role in entertaining me as the reader. Books like Horton Hears a Hoot. Throughout this childrens book Dr. Seuss uses wordplay to make you interseted so that you will continue reading.
Dr. Suess is widely known for his use of wordplay in his childrens books. Wordplay isnt just used in books it is also present in most of todays music. I know you could relate when i say i always listen to music and wonder what the heck did he just say or what does that mean? Well alot of times thats because you don't catch onto this device. But if you understand it and recognize the wordplay it makes perfect sense, well not always, but most of the time.
Most authors use wordplay to prove a point or just to make their work more unique or interesting. Others just do it for fun to mess with the reader like tongue twisters. Or those funny phrases like "Peter picked a pickled pepper" or "Sandy sells sea shells down by the sea shore." These tongue twisters give you a good laugh and they are over with. Authors want their readers to read wordplay and have fun with it. This makes everything more interesting for the reader and they read on. Also authors like to make you think about what they are saying. But once you understand it you are interested in what else the author has to say. Well of course authors will be using this major literary device far down the road until people stop reading it, but believe me, that will never happen.
